9. Marc-Andre Fleury’s Game 7 save

In Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Penguins were clinging to a one-goal lead. The Red Wings were pressing in the closing seconds. Detroit defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom fired the puck toward what appeared to be an empty net.

But, Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury dove out and blocked the shot with his upper body to preserve Pittsburgh’s Cup victory. “It was a different guy every night,” Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said after the champions celebrated on the ice. "The save that Marc made with one second left, he's done that a number of times.”

Teammate Maxime Talbot recalled chatting with Fleury after Detroit had cut Pittsburgh’s lead to 2-1. “I'm like, 'Flower, I've got the game winner, you know, try to make the save,' and he did,” Talbot said.
